Is The Bible Valuable? (2)

June 11, 2009

I am still pondering the question as to why so few view the Bible as important in value? Perhaps one reason is that they do not read it or understand it. However, one must read it before they know if they understand it or not. That would seem to be the issue. If one needs help to understand it then there are many way to obtain the help. I personally found The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel to be of tremendous help in my own return to faith. They are easy to obtain from bookstores or www.leestrobel.com.

Another reason might be that people don’t like what the Bible says. Ever since Eve’s encounter with the serpent (Devil), mankind has wanted to be god (Genesis 3:4-5) rather than being subject to the rules that He as the loving Creator and heavenly Father established for mankind’s own welfare.

The theme of our society would seem to be question authority. A not too unfamiliar voice somewhere is saying: Don’t tell me how to live MY life. Yet, while we ignore God’s direction of how to govern our lives and treat our fellowmen, we subject ourselves to the whims of society and conform ourselves to the latest fads and trends of celebrities.

We read countless How To books on everything from how to have a better marriage, how to run a more successful business, how to win friends, or how to attract that one true love. At the same time we declare the Bible to be of no value, although it has given us the true methods to accomplish all of the above.

If we do not read or study the Bible, we will never understand it; its proven methods to a happy and successful life in all areas of today’s world will be for naught. So start reading the Bible today. You will be amazed at what you find on its pages. My own story of the futility of not reading it is contained in It’s Never Too Late and can be ordered from www.faithrescued.com.
